HSBC analysts have issued a bearish assessment of CoreWeave stock despite recent market enthusiasm for the GPU cloud service provider. The investment bank assigned a reduced rating with a $32 price target, representing a 77% decline from current trading levels near $143. Analyst Abishek Shukla argues that GPU cloud services are facing increasing commoditization pressures that limit their profitability potential.
CoreWeave generates lower returns compared to traditional cloud computing giants, such as Amazon Web Services. The company recorded thirty-two percent asset turnover during the first quarter of 2025, while hyperscale competitors achieved seventy-six percent efficiency rates. OpenAI has failed to deliver on a promised fifteen billion dollar cash commitment, creating liquidity concerns for CoreWeave operations.
The firm relies heavily on Microsoft and OpenAI customers for 72% of its total revenue streams. Rising energy costs and data center rental expenses consume significant portions of quarterly earnings, further straining financial resources.
